An optimization strategy is described herein for the design and manufacturing of parts, combining composites and metals. The design stages of such parts, as well as the modelling procedures, required in each stage, are presented. More specifically, the modelling steps that are essential for the optimization of the production processes are described. A sample analysis of three different parts is also included. Moreover, a strategy for the optimization of the process parameters is proposed. This is based on maximizing the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of each process, considering the difference in the importance of each factor, between the different industry sectors. Finally, issues such as humidity and size effects are also taken into accoun
